A
different
kind
of
scandal
is
currently
affecting
the
administration
of
Laura
Chinchilla
with
the
firing
of a
ranking
government
official,
this
time
though
not
for
corruption,
but rather
for
being
what
some
would
call
an idiot
for
the
publication
of
an
intimate
video.
The
video
circulating
on
YouTube
is
of Karina Bolaños,
the
vice-ministra
de
Juventud
(vice-minister
of
Youth),
wearing
only
panties
and
a
bra
and
lying
on a
bed,
displaying
well
her
natural
assets, Bolaños
puts
on a
show
for
her
lover,
someone
other
than
her
husband
as
the
La
Teja
alleges.
Bolaños
is
the
wife
of
Costa
Rican legislator,
Victor
Hugo Viquez.
The
Ministro
de
Comunicaciones,
Francisco
Chacon,
confirmed
Monday
that Bolaños
been
sacked
-
fired. Bolaños
now
now
faces
harassment
complaints
according
to a
report
in
La
Teja.
Manuel
Obregon,
Ministro
de
Cultura
y
Juventud,
said the
firing
was
not
related
to
her
work
as a
public
official,
strictly
related
to
the
official's
private
life
that
became
public.
Some
reports
indicate
that
Bolaños,
who
has
been
at
the
post
since
2006,
resigned
and
the
Presidenta
did
not
object.
